ABOUT
Our Mission
Oasis of Hope Worship Center Church mission is threefold: First is to produce, second is to mobilize, and the third is to support. We endeavor to disciple and equip fellow believers of Jesus Christ through studying God’s Word, discipleship and encouraging fellowship to produce faithful men and women for the work of God. We want to make Jesus known to the world through our Foreign Mission Outreach Ministry and to show love to everyone through our lives. Jesus did not come to condemn the world but to save the world through Him. God’s grace is sufficient for us all.
Our Vision
Oasis of Hope Worship Center, is a church that Glorifies God by proclaiming the good news of JESUS CHRIST, encouraging all people to a personal relationship with Him and covenant relationship in His family. To bind up the broken hearted, to set the captives free, To facilitate spiritual maturity and to equip for ministry in the church, We believe in the Five-Fold Ministry Gifts according to Ephesians 4:11, with ultimate goal of transforming lives from darkness into His marvelous light. Our purpose is to know God through a personal relationship with Him through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our Beliefs
We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God, written by holy men of God as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (II Peter 1:21)
We believe in one God who is infinite in power, holy in nature, attributes and purposes as well as omniscient and omnipresent. WE BELIEVE that He was revealed to us as Father in creation, Son in redemption, and Holy Spirit in His grace, never leaving those who trust in Him. (Deut. 6:4; Is. 45:18; John 1:1,14)
We believe that in Jesus dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, for it pleased the Father that in Him should all the fullness dwell. (Col. 2:9; 1:19; John 14:8; 10:30; I John 5:7, Isaiah 43: 10-15)
We believe in the Virgin Birth. Jesus was born both human and divine; He was God manifested in flesh.(Isaiah 7:14; 9:6; I Timothy 3:16)
We believe in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.
We believe that He ascended on high and has sent his spirit, the Holy Ghost, which was poured out at Jerusalem over 2000 years ago, and it is this same spirit that fills the hearts of those who seek Him today. (Acts 2:22-24; I Cor. 15:20; Acts 2:4)
We believe in baptism in water by immersion in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and in the baptism of the Holy Ghost, speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance: This constitutes the new birth. (Acts 2:38; St. John 3:3-8; Acts 8:16; 10:44-46; 19:5; Titus 3:5,)
We believe in a holy, sanctified life.
We believe in divine healing, communion and foot washing.
We believe also in the glorious catching away, also known as The Rapture of the saints, when Jesus returns in the clouds of glory to take His people to Heaven. (I Peter 1:16; St. Matthew 5:48; II Corinth. 7:1; I Thess. 4:16; St. Mark 16:17-18)
We believe that the Name ―Jesus is the only saving Name, and so ―whatsoever you do in word or deed, do ALL in the Name of the Lord Jesus. (Acts 4:12; Col. 3:17)
We Are Apostolic In Doctrine and In Practice
The writer Luke gives us a snapshot of the early Church in Acts 2:42-47. From the Day of Pentecost onward, the Church, having been formally begun with the descent of the Holy Spirit, experienced expansion, growth and development by the power of the Holy Spirit. They were a spiritual Body illuminated by the Spirit and passionate in their love for God and for one another. They spent time in constant fellowship, devoted themselves to prayer, experienced the raw power of the Holy Spirit in continual manifestation, shared their resources and walked in the favor of both God and the community in which they worshiped. It is our responsibility and our spiritual assignment to return to the Apostolic church experience in every possible way, despite the spiritual attacks and the extreme spiritual darkness of our time.
―They continued steadfast in the Apostles’ Doctrine we are told, faithfully continuing to believe and to teach the things that were declared in the first Christian sermon and practiced in the first Christian altar call. They preached that Jesus was the Messiah of Israel and the Savior of all whom the Lord would call. They taught that He died as the Lamb of God, that God raised Him from the dead and that He sent forth His Holy Spirit into the hearts of those who would receive it. They clearly taught and practiced that men and women must be baptized (“every one of you”) in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and that God would faithfully give them the gift of the Holy Ghost which would then completely incorporate them into the Body of Christ.
Over the centuries, the Church, having lost her first love, has been observed to have wandered away from, New Testament patterns of Church life to a significant degree in several key areas. With the passage of times large portions of the Church ceased to speak in tongues, ceased to experience the supernatural, refrained from full immersion, dishonored the Name of Jesus as the name that brings salvation, lost a passion for holiness of life and began to adopt new models of Church leadership based upon priests and pastors only, no longer seeking the God-ordained order of Five-fold Ministry leadership. It is Greater New Birth Ministries mandate to seek for a return to practices of the early Church in all manner of doctrine and practice.
